Incredibly fun toy to mess around with, I'm sure the alt-control version is awesome! The crazy visual design for the character / instrument / ??? was a lot of fun, as was switching between times of day. I started getting into the rhythm of layering noises -- if I had to leave a piece of critique, it would be to have some kind of baseline simple drumbeat or something to keep the flow going even if you take your fingers off all four arrows. Great work!

Couldn't get the trap beat on my laptop, but still had a fun time messing around. Can't wait to play on the actual controller!

BloodlustersThis was a pretty unique game that I ever tried, I never tried rythm games before but it did spark the creativity of allowing the player or user to create thier own tune in some sort. I also felt that using arrows keys was a bit hurting for my hand because I was using only one hand to control it(but it might be because my laptop is smol).Also am curious about whats the criteria for the ghoul king to like my song or tune? :O Like how do you decide if my tune is good or not. The game was pretty funky! :>

Untitled Car gameAh I see, the controller must be a fun thing to build! I tried some tunes to figure out which one gives me the most score or which gives me no or less score, which is why I asked that. The kazool king is indeed very supportive then since I was just trying to play whatever made sense to me and he approved me anyway XD I wish you good luck with your journey! A very welcome this is the first jam where I actually posted a game and finding unique games like yours, did tell me there are many things we can do to create fun.
I figured a bunch of your time went into that controller which I must admit is pretty cool and way beyond my abilities to make. I wonder if it would be possible to use haptic feedback on the individual buttons to tell you which one to press to make a song and make it more game like. It would be a very unique game if you could pull off such a thing.
Very interesting concept. I had fun with it but I wish there were more gameplay elements.

Ghost Maze Puzzle RaceI understand. It was a quick solo project for me with the focus of building the alt-controller, so I didn't take on a lot of gameplay elements. But I would be interested to develop further post Jam. Or next Jam now that I feel more secure in my alt-controller work joining a team with that being my focus.
Can't wait to try this with the controller and make some evil ass sounds with it >:)>:)>:)>:)>:)>:)
